These past few days, when not dreaming about mountains, I have been painting from the windows. These gnarly birch trees stand next to the farmhouse. There is ever-present Laugarvatnsfjall rising up behind the trees.
The days are getting shorter and shorter, the mornings are dark, and the evening comes on very fast. I have to start thinking about leaving…sigh. I have a few days left to paint, no need to think about leaving just yet… I’ll keep on painting these trees, the mountain, the darkness …and make time stand still just a little while longer.

Wonderful paintings. Can understand you’re sad about leaving soon. But you had a great and more time than the most people who visit Iceland. You’re so blessed. Have a happy painting day! 🙂
Of course, I am so fortunate to have had this amazing experience. It’s my artistic temperament that savors the melancholy moments in life.

Nice to see the birches planted by my grand-parents so beautifully painted.
They are such a beautiful feature of this landscape here at Gullkistan. They are loved!
just gorgeous
Thanks! Squeezing the most out of these last days here.

I can’t believe your time is almost done – it has really flown by. I’ve loved following your blog – it’s the next best thing to being there myself. I can’t wait to hear your stories when you return! Love you! (And boy do I love those brave birches….)
Brave birches. Yes!
